Talented teen inspires with unique gift

She creates the beat, with Tupperware. A YouTube sensation from Imperial, Pa., is going viral.

Kiersten Kelly, 17, recreated a scene from the movie, "Pitch Perfect." In the movie, the singer uses a plastic cup to create a beat, while singing "The Cup Song" a capella. Kelly does her own version. Because she was born with a disability, Kelly has her full left arm but her right arm stops below the elbow.

"So basically I'm just missing my wrist and my hand. I do anything and everything anyone else does. I just sometimes have to do it a little bit differently," explained Kelly.

Using Tupperware instead of a cup -- she jokes she didn't have a plastic cup around -- Kelly serenades a hand-held camera with her deep, raspy voice.

Shot in her kitchen, it's a simple video. But the vocals and the beat have been liked on Facebook more than 90,000 times and shared more than 10,000 times.

She said her friend posted the video to Reddit, and it took off from there.

"Some random person I don't know who found it on Reddit and he shared it to 7,000 subscribers," Kelly said.

Kelly has had her fair share of trying and trying again. She said she's auditioned three times for "Rocket to the Stars," which is described as the biggest singing competition in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio. Last summer, she lost in the final round.

She attends Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School and dreams of making it big. Next week, she's auditioning for the Berkeley Summer Program.
